Twat can be offensive in certain situations, but certainly in the UK it's become one of the lesser swears. Although any slang or name for genitalia can be offensive in some way, take for example the word penis. It's the correct Scientific name for it, but if I called you a penis it could be offensive.

Any word can be offensive. It's all in how you use it.

Because the board isn't crashed any longer.
If I may, I need to say something regarding this, and hopefully I won't come across as too much of a dick. The forums occasionally crash due to a surge in posting. Doing a "let's post pages and pages of random stuff and keep the server busy while they're trying to fix the board" thread doesn't help.
It's not really a big deal, really, and I'm not trying to be pissy towards anyone. If you want to start another thread of that nature, feel free. Just try to keep it on the low while the forum is down is all I ask.

I didn't do the locking, but if I had to guess it would be because we are trying to limit the amount of threads dedicated to Vince's "death". There were so many people posting various threads and polls on it last night that it actually caused the whole forum to crash (not just WWE Current).

It was me, I locked it. Yeah, for that reason. I thought I posted in the thread explaining, but guess not.... *sheepish look*

...or something as such.
Please?

No, because this will be undone within a month's time, if not a week's. And quite frankly, The less encouragement for these stupid death angles, the better.

Each post within a thread has a sub link. That way, if you're trying to link to it in another thread/post, you can just right-click & save the "Link to post" location to cut & paste elsewhere, so that people who click on it will be taken directly to the post you wanted them to see, rather than end up at the top of the thread and have to look for it.

So far they aren't an issue like the Party threads were. Namely, the volume of such. There were 4 Party threads in little over a day, 3 of which were full and had to be locked. So far there's just one WC Kliq thread.
If it does become an issue then that thread (and any it spawns) will also be locked.

Our brains would fry otherwise. Jed "Vince McShaffer" Shaffer ~Besides ... we're in the Top 40 of WC fads!

So it's not so much the content of a thread but it's popularity?

So it's not so much the content of a thread but it's popularity? Not 'popularity' or even 'content' but 'volume'. In the time frame from which they were created to just before the fourth one was locked the 'Party' threads constituted roughly 30% of all posts made in that time. That's a lot. If they were let continue then they would have undoubtedly crashed the board again. The 'WC Kliq' thread has not come close to this. If it does, or shows signs of doing so, it'll be stopped.

Plus, it's not to spite the chat threads or their inhabitants, but to prevent another board crash. And in all honesty, if y'all want to chat, God has recently inventend Instant Messenging....
And before you go up in arms about IM not counting toward your post count, well, there are options to turn off the post count in certain sections.

I'm gonna regret this, I'm sure, but for the record, as we said over and over again, it was never about the post counts, contrary to apparent popular opinion amongst the mods. Popular opinion? I see one Moderator who has said it was about postcount.
